Reserve Policies of 1919 20 Were To Prevent Collapse
Washington dispatch reports Governor Harding told a joint congressional committee that reserve policies of 1919 and 1920 were crafted solely to prevent a banking collapse and successfully protected finances. He said the board did not aim to push prices up or down but prepared to meet a world price break and to expand credit lines. He noted potential use of farm credit boards but refused detailed recommendations, emphasizing limits on government involvement and the need to study agricultural credit needs. The cotton surplus and export credit issues were cited as needing careful handling, with Harding asserting prices stabilized for rightful credit operations. He also discussed cotton correspondence with J S Wanamaker and actions to ease the burden on producers.
